Description
Design & Inspiration
Few decorative objects command a room with the quiet authority of a masterfully composed candelabra. This Rococo-inspired cut-crystal candelabra draws from the height of 18th-century European decorative arts — a period when French and Italian craftsmen elevated the candlestick from a utilitarian object to a sculptural statement. The interplay of light through diamond-cut crystal and the warm gleam of polished brass recreates the intimate luminosity of candlelit salons, where every surface was an occasion for artistry.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The body is fashioned from high-clarity cut crystal, its surface worked into a precise diamond-lattice (hobnail) pattern that refracts light into prismatic brilliance. Flanking the crystal body are two boldly cast brass acanthus-scroll handles — a motif lifted directly from the Rococo vocabulary of organic, asymmetric ornamentation — which curve outward with the confident flourish of period ormolu mounts. The crowning candle socket is a turned brass bobèche with tiered molding, seated atop a flared brass collar that transitions the metal seamlessly into the crystal neck. The base is the piece's most theatrical element: a heavily cast brass plinth enriched with scrolling acanthus leaves, rocaille cartouches, and curling volute feet, cast in high relief to create deep shadow play across its surface. Total weight: 4 kg.
Dimensions & Details
Weighing 4 kg, this candelabra has the substantial physical presence its design commands. The broad, scrolled brass base ensures stability while the crystal body rises through a gracefully pinched waist to the candle socket above. The piece is supplied as a single unit (1 piece) and requires only minimal assembly — fitting the socket to the crystal body — before it is ready to anchor a console table, adorn a dining room centerpiece position, or elevate a reception mantelpiece.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Every element of this candelabra is handcrafted in Egypt by Brass & Wood artisans trained in classical European metalworking and glassworking traditions. The brass components are individually cast, hand-finished, and polished to a rich warm luster. The crystal body is precision-cut to ensure consistent facet geometry. Available in multiple brass finish variants — each appended to the base design — this piece can also be customized to your specification. Delivery is fulfilled within 30–45 days to ensure each unit meets our exacting quality standards before dispatch.
